Southgate Swim Club pool to reopen

HAYWARD — The Southgate Swim Club will dedicate its refurbished pool at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 4.

Rebuilding of the pool, which started leaking last year, was dealt two setbacks. The original contractor left with the project only half completed. Club members decided to rebuild the pool themselves, under the guidance of John Sydow, owner of Sydow Pool Service and Repair. Sydow only asked that club members pay the favor forward.

Then in October, thieves broke into the club, stealing members’ tools that were being used to rebuild the pool, plus the sound system for swim meets and pop-up tents.

But pool is now finished, along with new plumbing and a new electrical system.

The community is invited to join Saturday’s celebration at the club, 24900 Magnolia St., which is a little south of Southland Mall. Hayward Mayor Michael Sweeney is expected to present a commendation to Sydow.
